Women With Big Eyes

Rating:
Summary: An author of breathtaking power and beauty
Review: Angeles Mastretta has captivated me! Her voice is completely her own, but you will be reminded of elements of Anais Nin, D.H. Lawrence, Yukio Mishima, Gabriel Garcia Marquez - even poets like Pablo Neruda and Rainer Maria Rilke. If you like any two of these writers, I predict you will fall for her as I have. Short stories, beautifully told - stories of real women, living real lives. A book you will devour, over and over.

Summary: magic
Review: Clicheed? Maybe, but only in the sense that all stories are merely reworkings of previously existing stories. It is the author's pulchritudinous style that makes each of these vignettes riveting, insightful, unforgettable, and one of my personal favorites. Read this book if you want to remember that magic exists in the guise of a woman.

Review: Who said Angeles Mastretta was a good storyteller? this book is so cliched, it makes me cringe!
